the shifters.
    They didn’t want them to take over, which was impossible, they had never had the numbers for that. Nor did any of the normal non-psycho magical community, they only wanted to live in peace. The psycho ones, you know the Ulfer , well that was another story altogether, Pilar thought.
    “Okay then, back up, did you say virgin?” Calli said incredulously. All of them stared at her with their mouths open. Of course they did, who would have thought a dragon at least a hundred years old was a virgin. It wasn’t like Pilar was shocked by the situation either.
    Pilar nodded slowly and looked around at her friends. “Exactly, you see what I am saying?”
    “Like nothing?” Rissa pressed.
    “Nothing,” Pilar said.
    “What?” Kiki said and leaned forward. “Surly you have….”
    Pilar turned red and then shook her head and looked down at the table. “Uh, yeah, no.”
    “Well shit,” Calli said and they were all silent while they each tried to think of the best way to handle the situation.
    “Hey, I could help, I actually have experience now.” Kiki smiled at Syd who blushed.
    “Uh, thanks?” Pilar laughed and then shook her head. “No, I am not really worried about that portion of it. I mean it can’t be too hard right?”
    “Oh, honey,” Cherri said in a sad voice. “If that is what you think, we have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get some more booze and lay it all out.”

    Kade stood in the doorway of the security room where all of his friends were already seated and yelled, “Women!”
    Dec looked up and snorted. “Yeah!”
    Brooks hid a smile as his Alpha walked into the room and glared at all of them. “You all need to get your women under control, they are feeding the flames with Calli, and God knows she doesn’t need any help there.”
    “Yeah,” Phillip laughed. “We have so much control.”
    Kade snorted and looked at Brooks who had not said anything. “What do we know?”
    Brooks shook his head. “Not much, basically the same as before, other than we are getting more and more shifters and other beings coming in daily seeking sanctuary. What we really need is for someone to make a list of the people coming in. I am starting to get worried about the wards we have on the compound. With so many passing through, it could weaken them. Any of the Ulfer could sneak in and totally fuck things up.”
    “I thought your warlock wards were stronger?” Dec asked.
    “Normally they would be; however, with so many magical people being so close together, they also are like a freaking beacon to anyone who pays attention. My wards can’t hide all of this power.” Brooks sighed.
    “So you and Pilar are mates with Calix?” Kade finally said, but when Brooks looked up, he saw the Alpha trying to hold in a smile.
    “What?” Brooks said with a frown.
    “Nothing, nothing,” Kade said and looked around the room at the men who were now holding their breath too.
    “Really? What?” Brooks growled and finally Dec looked at him with a twinkle in his eye and said.
    “It’s just, he is a wolf shifter.” Dec laughed.
    Brooks frowned again and shrugged. “And?”
    “Brooks, you realize that Calix means ‘cat’ in some languages, right?” Kade smiled.
    It took a minute before Brooks shook his head. “Assholes.”
    “Did his parents hate him or something? I mean, why the fuck would they call a dog a cat?” Simon laughed.
    “Shut up,” Brooks said with a smile.
    “Fine, but you know we are gonna ask, right?” Nik said slowly. “Maybe he is a cat/dog mix. Like I am a Gryphon, you know.”
    “Hey, wouldn’t that be funny if he was a dog, with like cat ears and tail. It would be funny.” Dec laughed.
    “Or a cat with dog legs or something.” Peter laughed.
    Soon the men were making jokes and Brooks looked ready to beat the shit out of them. It would have been all fine until Thomas walked in the room with a paper in his hand. “We have Calix’s information.”
